EASA money pit
Having been head down in unproductive paperwork for the new EASA part M maintenance approval I had rather missed the new scale of charges from the CAA.
According Maurice Colson in the latest Loop the maintenance approvals will form 2008 cost £1552pa for the M3 approval and £3482.50pa for the EASA part M subparts F&G.
All this extra money to pay for the aprovals just allow us to to do what we are doing now!
The cost for the approvals in 2004 was £654pa.
That is a price hike of £4380pa over four years............. That is why maintenance prices will have to rise and not a penny of it wll end up in the hands of the engineering company's.
